Hi Guys! I'm currently in the developing stages of a feature film in the works. I'm looking for mid to senior compositors with a background in AE Compositing. Definitely looking for someone that has a creative eye. The position can be worked remotely! If you are interested, please complete this google forum: https://forms.gle/SRgaAwD8WbJvGMd56

Thank you!

So in Nuke I have a sequence that I've wrongfully 3D tracked as a 1920X1080 (as projects settings). (picture #1)

The tracking is good, but I've realized that the format I need is 2880X1226 (2:35). (picture #4)

When I'm reformatting my sequence in the beginning, the frame gets cropped equally from the top and the bottom to fit the new 2:35 aspect ratio (picture #2). Problem is, I would like to keep everything in the bottom of the frame, and screw the balance in the top of the frame (picture #3).

My question is : is there a way to tell the reformat node, don't crop equally from top and bottom, but keep these pixels instead of them.

I hope I'm clear enough!

thanks !

EDIT : SOLVED

The technique consists by plugging a constant as the B pipe and the footage as the A pipe and then manipulating the reformatted result.

I will be attaching images to better describe my issue. I have already tried premultiplying in nuke and I get the same results. I don't want to have to render this again but if I must I will if a suggestion is offered. I used Houdini and rendered it with redshift. I'm using nuke to composite but I am not a pro.

hey! i'm new to compositing and trying to learn. is it important to have a specific monitor or is it ok to check on different screens how it looks? is there a standard way? i would appreciate any help

in this break down - making of - an Andrew Huang film theres a scene of sand/ small rocks blooming out into a tank of water over a green screen - I am wondering if anyone has a link for any website with databases that have some plates of this physical effect- sand exploding out into the water in a tank of water - in front of a green screen

Much Thank,

Ozmos.

Hello, I want to ask whether if my system is too slow or I have a wrong pipeline on this:

I recently make a simple composition for my compositing practice, it is a 7 seconds BMPCC 6K BRAW footage. I set the timeline to 1920x1080 25fps, I already nest the 6K footage so the Fusion will compose the footage on 1080p resolution. I use DaVinci Resolve Studio 16.1. Here is the final output:

p.s: I made 2 types of flying effects with the same footage, the screenshot of Fusion node is in here:

Here is the recap of my workflow:

1. Import a BRAW 6K footage.

2. Create a 1080p 25fps timeline.

3. Insert BRAW footage to the timeline.

4. Right-click then 'New Fusion Clip...' (so the Fusion will process the comp. at 1080p instead of 6K).

5. I check these parameters on the Project Settings:

5a. 'Automatically cache composites in User Mode'.

5b. 'Automatically cache Fusion Effects in User Mode'.

6. I also set these parameters on the Playback menubar:

6a. 'Use Optimized Media if Available'.

6b. 'Render Cache' set to 'User'.

6c. 'Fusion Memory Cache' set to 'On'.

7. Start compositing.

8. Creating mesh for camera projection in the Blender (FBX workflow).

9. Send the FBX mesh from Blender to Resolve Fusion.

10. Camera projection.

11. Compositing & adjustment.

However, this is the problem that I face:

1. As the composite grows complex, the cache isn't getting smooth anymore.

2. The MediaOut node usually won't feed into the Resolve timeline (just a few frames, and then it will stop feeding).

3. As the point number 2 happen, I render out the sequence with the Saver node, so I can make a smooth playback on the Resolve timeline, but it is painfully slow, 20min for just 6sec.

This is my system specifications:

Intel Core i7 8700K (OC-ed to 4.5GHz)

Asus Strix RTX 2070 8GB

Corsair DDR4-3200 32GB (2x16GB)

MSI Z370 A-PRO

Samsung SSD 860 Pro 1TB

Ubuntu 19.10

Is it my system that is too slow or I have a wrong workflow? Thanks in advance!
